If given an actual game of Monopoly, after R rounds the amount of available land decreases to none. The only way to remain competitive is to own land.

Luck is a major factor in Monopoly, so to be fair, a new player would have to be able to have a 50% chance of surviving one lap of the board. I would take the value of all claimed land and give the player 50% of that value. The amount taken would be a progressive tax, but one that would not change the current rank of all player's monies and land value.

If all land has been claimed when a new player enters, I don't feel a new player could succeed. It would take a much larger tax to all players, so the new player could selectively barter and purchase land from another player, but to win, other players can hold land and try to siphon the new influx of cash from the new player.

An interesting experiment, I like it! I believe the game German Railways (a "cube rail" game) is similar where players get unequal turns.
It boggles my mind that the entirety of the hardware world cannot accept the simple concept of making computer hardware capable of booting and running <latest open source operating systems literally purpose-built to take advantage of general hardware standards the Hardware Manufacturers WERE ALREADY MAKING for Microsoft Windows (TM)>

I mean, it's not like Linux didn't spend 30 frikkin' years specifically aping hardware that carried the WIntel brand from the IBM PC with MS-DOS up to WindozeWhatever13 or whatever they are up to now...

I cannot fathom the strange incentivization schema that would cause the entirety of the existing mass-retail OEM computer production to be "Windows ONLY" and actively contributing to literally selling LESS of their own units via efforts to lock their own hardware against running your own damned OS upon it!

I buy hardware I can run Linux on. I have no use for Microsoft Windows in any capacity for any purpose, period. end of story.

Hardware Manufacturers please take note! (I remain puzzled... Dell even sells some preloaded Linux laptops, IIRC... what gives, Dell?)

> It might be nice to add a drying brush to the tool set which selectively dries the paint to prevent mixing.

The effect of thinning out the paint is effectively letting more light passing through the paint and reflecting off the canvas instead.

So in the case of drying out, seems it would be a good fit for simply painting on a new layer, and having the code reflect off the combined layers below.

That would make it easier to change the paint/glaze on top, as well as not having to commit to drying the layer underneath.
This is a Gish Gallop of completely unrelated things.

Tech companies can become very powerful without holding a monopoly. All it takes is being big enough to have political sway either through being a big employer or just by straight up lobbying.

The US has a few big banks and then hundreds of regional banks. It’s trivial to bank without using the big ones.

Prohibiting a post breakup Google from contracting with each other is completely idiotic. Either they make sense as standalone businesses or they don’t. Why wouldn’t Google search be allowed to use GCP but be allows to use AWS? If they are different companies they will use what is best for the company and regulating that they use something worse is bad for everyone.

I used to travel for work, and one year covered companies in St Louis. St Louis is approximately 50% white and 50% black, and yet whenever I went into these companies, the demographics were 50% white and 50% Indian, with blacks only being found as security guards at the front desk. It felt like the H1B were used to fill the low level positions that could have been taken by aspiring black Americans. Steve Bannon made this point recently, and I was shocked to agree with anything he said, much less find myself forwarding his videos to my friends.

2-3 tatami mats (95 sqf, < 9 sqm) sized apartments would be a great idea for kids who just need housing. Most people in the USA would still demand heat and bathroom in the apartment, or maybe just in the same building. There are apartments in Tokyo that lack heat and a shower in the same building, shared toilet, you go to the local bath house if you want to take a shower. This kind of housing could prevent lots of single people from falling into homelessness and probably drugs (but they can't keep a dog or cohabitate, and it doesn't really work for families).

Honest question, asking for informed responses: How harmful is second-hand vape?

For solving hard problems there is the Rubber duck debugging methodology. But instead of a rubber toy, think of someone who can solve it. The catch is that that person is too expensive, so you will explain the problem so well and concise that it wont cost that much.

Soon you will wake up a solution, or perhaps another approach, or better understanding of what you need to learn.

The thing is don't switch to another complex problem. When tired, switch to easy tasks, documenting, or refactorings.

The fact that you’re basing this off a podcast aside, it seems fine to allow deeper political ties for countries which want it. Some, but not all, want a unified pan-European military for example. Some countries would prefer the EU remain in its current quasi-(con)federation form, but there’s a group which would gladly form a stronger federation like the United States.

I have never heard this claim specifically. But it is clear that the rapid east expansion of the EU still causes friction with the other goal of having a tighly integrated political and economic union. Some steps to strengthen the union may hurt the newer member states more than it would help them in their current state. It is really hard to balance this. This is why the inner union ideas get floated from time to time.

I don't necessarily think it is a good idea. I am a firm proponent of the EU. In a world where the other major powers are many times bigger than any individual European country, Europe cannot defends its interests when every member country is on its own. There are many issues with the current shape of the EU, but I see it as a necessary step on a path to something better.

No, but EU with all its social agenda is now imploding at unusual places that were once considered great places to live, inflation is doing its thing. In the US tech is considered the most important engine of the economy, EU wasted over a decade and lost its only competitive company that led one large sub-field of tech (Nokia). Pretending nothing is going on won't help the EU, sooner or later this will be apparent everywhere (with a chance a hot war with Russia collapses it quicker).

There are a couple of changes more that arguably made the API worse:

* Event payloads changed to be “thin events”

* List endpoints became only eventually consistent

They also took away the “expand” parameter, which seems more useful that the new “include” one that works in some endpoints.

Generally their API design seems much more confusing and inconsistent nowadays. But to be fair their API is much bigger too. I guess it is hard to keep the same quality when you have so many engineers working on it.

> Until about a century ago, what we had was barely a step above witch doctors.

By the late 19th century, we already had general anaesthesia (developed starting in the 1840s), antiseptics (we’ve had them for centuries but their use became much more common in the late 19th century as the germ theory received broad acceptance), smallpox vaccine (very late 18th century development), a number of drugs (some known since antiquity others newly discovered), etc. Yes doctors were a lot more limited in what they could do back then, but even within those limits they saved people’s lives all the time. If your arm had gangrene, they could amputate it under general anaesthesia, antiseptics to try to prevent infection, and provide post-operative pain relief - which could literally save your life. Women with breast cancer received mastectomies (known about since antiquity but became much more common in 19th century, especially as general anaesthesia made the surgery more tolerable)-due to the lack of chemotherapy or immunotherapy, that wouldn’t do much for those with more advanced cancer, but if the cancer was sufficiently localised could be curative and lifesaving
Seriously SDKs are unnecessary bloat. Just give the basic CURL examples and let people abstract it for whatever language and implementation they want.
The drawbacks for SDKs I see:

* Needs to break the SDK containment. If you want to add some "off the menu" feature, you might be able to extend the SDK itself, butsuddenly you're running a fork that can't be maintained and updated with other dependencies.

* Potential for compatibility timebombs. If you use a deprecated language feature in the SDK, or a hard-coded certificate that expires 2028-01-01, it forces a full-scale upgrade event for developers rather than fixing a single API call in their own code. In the worst case, this triggers a whole avalanche of dependency updates and breaking unrelated code.

* Design impedance mismatches. Maybe you're writing procedural code and the SDK is object-oriented, or maybe it's just exposing a data structure paradigm that needs a lot of data reformatting and glue to work.

A good SDK is nice to have, and if done right can be a good reference implementation for the API too. But make sure there's a usable public API under there too.

>> Mr. Musk’s business ventures are heavily reliant on China. He borrowed at least $1.4 billion from banks controlled by the Chinese government to help build Tesla’s Shanghai gigafactory, which was responsible for more than half of Tesla’s global deliveries in the third quarter of 2024.

>> Mr. Musk’s relationship with China’s leaders could prove a problem for America’s national security given that SpaceX has a near monopoly on the United States’ rocket launches. The United States is in an intense space race with China. In a May interview, Maj. Gen. Gregory J. Gagnon, the deputy chief of space operations for intelligence at the U.S. Space Force, said that there has never been a buildup comparable to what the Chinese are attempting in space — not even during World War II — and that “an adversary arming this fast is profoundly concerning.” The last thing the United States needs is for China to potentially have an easier way of obtaining classified intelligence and national security information.
> Azerbaijan says the cause was "external technical influence", whatever that means.

It is a glaringly obvious euphemism for a military mishap. I respect your hunger for details before arriving at a conclusion, but there was practically no chance this wasn't a missile strike. If you're familiar with Russia's reluctance to admit failure, this should come as a particularly disappointing inevitability.

- Azerbaijan is de-facto reliant on Russia for military support. They would always wait for Russia's admission before declaring an international incident that could threaten their standing. The initial denial and defense is likely protocol for Russian allies.

- Russia's official excuse of a "bird strike" didn't make sense, since there was spall marks on the fuselage that do not originate from turbine failure. Not only does the wreckage make this obvious, but I don't think hydraulics would fail from an isolated bird strike either.

- The ADS-B data absolutely corroborates a military attack. You can very clearly see a controlled ascent to altitude cut off by a jammed transponder, then again the transponder comes online with an unstable flight path. If one engine was disabled by a bird strike, the plane should still be able to trim itself into stable flight: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azerbaijan_Airlines_Flight_824...

- Historically, starting in the USSR and continued by the Russian Federation, there has been a tradition of coverups defending military personnel when they make mistakes. It is unbelievably common both in history and in modern news cycles to hear about fabricated coverups that defend Russia's soldiers from criticism and, more importantly, distance Russia from any relations to the harm they've caused.

To be frank, it was foolish to hold out hope that Russia wasn't responsible from the moment they denied it so vehemently. Some nations cry wolf so often that other countries don't even take the time of day from them. If Russia waited to deliver a truthful response or launched an investigation to correct the source of the error, then there would be a lot less scrutiny and eyerolling from the international community right now. The desperate scramble to cover up an accident of this magnitude is an utter embarrassment for Russia, especially considering how few people were willing to trust the official (and obviously incomplete) Azerbaijan/Russian response. It is disrespectful to the families that deserve an answer with accountability, and another notch in the belt of reasons why we don't take Russian press releases seriously.
